New Insights into Glioblastoma: A Compendium of Recent Diagnostic and Therapeutic Advances

Authored by Carla Vitorino, this comprehensive book provides an in-depth exploration of the latest diagnostic and therapeutic developments in glioblastoma (GBM), covering a wide range of compounds and (bio)nanotechnology strategies that demonstrate increased antitumoral activity and capability to cross the blood-brain barrier.

The book delves into the challenges and issues associated with translating these advances into clinical practice, with a focus on improving survival rates and well-being of patients. This valuable resource is designed for graduate students, oncologists, cancer researchers, and biomedical professionals seeking to stay updated on the latest developments in glioblastoma management.

Structure and Content

The book is divided into three parts:

• Diagnosis, which covers biomarkers and cutting-edge techniques such as PET/MRI, infrared thermography, and deep neural networks.
• , which discusses new chemical entities, natural products, repurposed drugs, and innovative formulation approaches, including nanotechnology-based and microRNA approaches.
• , which explains the role of omics, system-based approaches, and the glioblastoma microenvironment.

Key features of the book include:

• Guidance on recent advances in new chemical entities and targeted delivery strategies for glioblastoma.
• Overviews to facilitate the application of information in research.
• Summarizing diagrams and real-world examples to enhance comprehension and applicability of the content.
